Send us your ideas for a collaborative, combinatory masterpiece!
Do you have an obsession? A subject that you think would make an incredible Sidekick-style book? If so, read on.In a break from our normal Sidekick practice, we’re handing over the curatorial reins to you. We’re seeking proposals for the &Friends series, an experimental new series of amalgamatic poetry books, in which individual author-editors collate, curate, adapt and remix, combining original composition with work they’ve solicited or borrowed from elsewhere.
Please note: This call is not for single-author collections, but hybrid books, in the spirit of our Headbooks and Hipflasks.
We’re inviting 200-word proposals, along with a sample of 10-20 pages (not full manuscripts). In your submission, we’ll ask you to discuss the amalgamatic elements in your proposal and share your vision for the book.
You can view examples of two amalgamatic works in progress on the call page, and we suggest checking out the sample pages for our other titles to get a feel for what we’re looking for, as well as subjects we’ve already covered in depth.
Please read the full call for submissions and ask us any questions before sending proposals. We look forward to reading your work!
